Abstract(in English) This paper presents our work on building a Japanese word analyzer, called as SNOWMAN, that is not so-called a "morphological analyzer." Although there are some morphological analyzers still available, they all produce morphemes, not words as output. That is, they are insufficient to recognize word consisting of multiple morphemes, such as idioms. Moreover, it is quite important in Japanese processing to reduce orthographical variants, that is considered partially in the current analyzers. Our analyzer strives to solve both problems. In this paper, we focus on word analysis module of the system and discuss the motivation and the differences between ours and current morphological analyzers.
